Chapter 399:
Cristian always displayed politeness to women, acting out of his gentlemanly nature. But his treatment of Fernanda was different. Haley had noticed the difference that day at Zero Degree. His politeness with others was simply a matter of decorum—nothing more than surface-level manners. But with Fernanda, there was real respect and admiration, a sincere effort to elevate her in others’ eyes through his actions.
Fernanda couldn’t deny that Haley had an uncanny ability to notice the smallest details.
“So, what comes next?” Fernanda asked with a smile. She finally understood the reason behind Haley’s visit to her.
Haley had noticed Cristian’s different behavior toward her, and the entire conversation had been a gentle nudge, a warning for her to be cautious of her role and how she handled her relationships with both Cristian and Bobby.
As expected, Haley replied, “This ties back to what I said earlier. You’re truly remarkable, and I hope you can navigate the people around you with grace.” Her words came with a smile, soft and devoid of threat, as if a wise elder offering a word of advice.
Fernanda thought a woman like Haley could easily charm anyone, as her outward demeanor was impeccable. But what Haley said next caught Fernanda off guard.
“I already mentioned that Cristian thinks highly of you. However, how far your relationship can develop, I can’t predict. You’re engaged to Bobby, and with Cristian, your position is naturally a bit complicated. I just hope you manage it well, and I’m sure Cristian hopes for the same p>
Fernanda’s perfectly arched brows finally shifted, furrowing just a little. What exactly did Haley mean by this?
Was Haley suggesting that she supported her and Cristian as a couple? Fernanda felt a growing sense of confusion—she couldn’t quite make sense of Haley.
Haley turned and walked calmly toward Fernanda, her hand gently smoothing out the wrinkles on her clothes with a soft touch. “I’ve told you, you’ve made a good impression on me, and I like you. I hope our relationship can grow stronger. If you’d be willing to spend more time with me in the future, I’d be more than happy p>
With those words, Haley took a couple of steps back, giving Fernanda some space.

“I’ve kept you long enough,” Haley said, giving a casual wave of her hand. “I’ll leave you to it. Go on ahead and get some rest p>
She turned smoothly, the night wind lifting the hem of her trench coat, making it sway in the air. Under the coat, her slim legs in stockings showed as she walked confidently away in high heels. The scene seemed almost surreal, as if her beauty were a figure sliding back into a masterpiece.
Fernanda stood there in the wind, feeling a bit lost and puzzled by it all. What was Haley really trying to say? What were those last words supposed to mean?
What exactly did Haley mean by wanting their relationship to grow stronger and suggesting they spend more time together in the future?
The whole situation felt like a puzzle Fernanda couldn’t quite solve, especially with the complicated dynamics at play. She blinked, trying to clear the fog in her mind, and then turned back toward her dorm, feeling more confused than ever.
Haley had left her with more questions than answers.
